I think we have a record of 1 of at least one of these cases already listed on our case list:

50)#315 - Patient, onset April 16, hospitalized in UAE, recent travel history to Saudi Arabia

Therefore the new cases announced by WHO actually total 8 to us since we know about one of the nine.

Re: Coronavirus cases April 23, 2014 (confirmed cases: 32, confirmed deaths: 2) (suspected cases: 0, suspected deaths: 0) MERS

We have their last case already listed (#333). So this is effectively a list of 12 new cases.

Saudi Arabia announced 24 cases today (11 in the morning and 13 in the evening). We already had listed 1 of them (#333) so for us, and displayed on our list, it is an addition of 23.

UAE announced 9 cases today. We already had one case listed (#315) so for us, and displayed on our list, it is an addition of 8.

Total for FluTrackers is 31 today out of a total announced of 33.

Also, looks like one is a pilgrim from Turkey.
